ThorBot is an IRC-bot that works in the game chat.
This bot exists to help you find information about monsters and artifacts in the game.

SYNTAX:

Code: Select all

:$[command] [specification] [monster name]
:$ is required for ThorBot to understand that you are talking to him.

[command] may be one of the following:
  • mon - ask about a monster
  • art - ask about an artifact
  • ego - ask about an ego-item
[specification] is optional, and only available with the monster/mon command:
  • spells - only spells*
  • summons - only summons
  • melee - only melee attacks
  • breaths - only breaths
  • resist - what the monster resists
  • search - search for unknown monster**
* arrows, missiles and rocks will also show here
** this uses a different syntax, instead of entering monster name, you enter [color] [symbol], and ThorBot will return the name.

[monster name]:
Here you enter whole or parts of the monsters name.
- If more than one match is found, ThorBot will return a list.
- If you entered search as specification, name is not needed.

Examples:

Code: Select all

:$mon phoenix

Code: Select all

:$mon resist beorn

Code: Select all

:$mon search yellow g

Code: Select all

:$art phial of

Code: Select all

:$ego gondolin
NOTE:
Asking for ego items works like for artifacts, but the function isn't very polished.
If you want to know what special features your Katana of Gondolin might have, you search for gondolin, the hit might display as Ball and chain of gondolin, but the stats will be the same.

Valid color names:

Code: Select all

black
blue
brown
cyan
dark grey
green

A really nice job and idea. Very helpfull. Thanks for it ! =)

I would love to get the dam infos: It can bite to burn with damage 12d6, hit to burn with damage 9d12.

Or better example Orfax: He can hit to attack with damage 5d5.

It is very helpfull to know the damage. Not allone but allmost for Melees.

Well, since I have nothing else to work on, and noone's found any more bugs, I'll see what I can do ;-)

Bump.
ThorBot v4.0 now in use.
A minor change in how to use the bot ("$monster" in stead of "$ monster").
Some new features ("$monster resist" to get resists).

Bump.
I agree this should be a sticky.
Also I know :$ego is a thing. Can you tell us more about that, Thorbear?

Updated to include :$ego
Altho that part of ThorBot is a little less user-friendly.

Something I noticed is that Thorbot doesn't say if the monster can regenerate, bash or open doors. This is useful information that should be included where the monster says it has passwall and stuff like that

Only if you want to tho, this has been a superuseful tool. I dont have to have spoilers up on another webpage.

Color names added.
I'll see if I can add the regen/bash/open doors soon, just need the inspiration to code :)
